Roasted Cauliflower & Broccoli

I don’t know how I feel about the sudden fall-ish weather that’s dropped in over the past few days.

It has literally gone from high 80s and sunny to cloudy with a chill…even down to the 50s on my morning commute. Yuck.

I’m not ready for summer to be over, either…but I am ready for long sweaters, football, pumpkin everything {yup, I’m that person} and roasting veggies every chance I get. So I’m kind of in this in-between stage, trying to wear sandals every day while I still can…all while roasting veggies. Trying to enjoy the best of both worlds while it’s kind of acceptable.

{Who thinks like this? Really.}

So, with the start of the school year beginning this week. With chaos setting in. With cold air visiting. And with meal prep happening…I roasted some veggies.

Some cauliflower and broccoli, to be exact. I love this combo! So good, guys!

Seriously, a delicious side dish to make during those end of summer/start of fall days!

Well…any day, really.

Ingredients

1 Head of cauliflower, chopped into florets

1 Head of broccoli, chopped into florets

1/4 Teaspoon onion powder

Tessemae’s Caesar dressing

Directions

Place cauliflower and broccoli on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and gently mix to combine. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly browned.

I LOVE roasting vegetables, I have a whole recipe collection of them on my blog.
The flavour is just so much better than simply boiling or steaming.
What a great idea mixing broccoli and cauliflower. And I like the addition of garlic and onion powder. YUM

I love roasting vegetables. The end of summer is such a strange thing. We get both cold and hot weather and we feel the end of summer is on Labor Day, but the truth is it’s a few more weeks of the season! I want to hang on as long as I can! Your veggies look both easy and delicious!

I love the combo of cauliflower and broccoli, and roasting them is such an easy option! Here in Wisco, USA the end of August was already feeling like fall, and now the trees are already starting to turn! I’m with you: I hang onto summer with all my might, even though I do love fall…I’m just not quite ready for it yet! When I do finally get in the mood for fall, though, I’ll be the person behind you in line for a pumpkin-spice latte. (Too creepy?) :-)
